About Tabitha lives with her mother, aunt, uncle and her two brothers at her Aunt’s house. Her mother has no source of income and thus the family relies on their Aunt for provision of basic needs. Her Aunt relies on casual jobs for income but due to the low income she earns she’s not able to pay Tabitha’s boarding fees as well as provide food for the family. Tabitha is usually sent home due to having not cleared her school fees and this in turn puts a strain in her academics as she misses a lot of her class work. Her wish is to find someone who would support her in paying her fees so that she may achieve her dream of becoming a neuro-surgeon and be able to offer assistance to needy and vulnerable children in future.
